Resilience and flow are crucial in language education, yet most research focuses on formal learning environments, with limited studies their impact informal settings. This study explores the relationship between basic psychological needs engagement context of digital English (IDLE). Using a mixed-methods design, data were collected from 512 Chinese EFL learners. Structural equation modeling NVivo analysis applied to quantitative qualitative data, respectively. The findings reveal that resilience fully mediates engagement, serving as an adaptability enhancer, persistence promoter, stress buffer, self-efficacy builder, emotional regulation facilitator. Conversely, partially this relationship, though perceived competence does not significantly predict context. Building this, contributes intrinsic motivation driver, positive cycle creator, external pressure mitigator, efficiency enhancer. underscores important role IDLE among university students. By highlighting these mediating roles, provides valuable insights for enhancing effectiveness experiences, contributing broader discourse education age.

Results The found that mindfulness self-efficacy independently directly predicted Additionally, emerged significant mediator relationship between well-being, suggesting enhances indirectly improved skills. Discussion These findings underscore critical practices, beliefs, skills promoting this extend mindfulness-based interventions programs designed. However, study’s design limits causal inference, use measures may introduce biases. Moreover, sample’s limited diversity homogeneous demographic profile, attributed single university, constrain generalizability findings. Future research could adopt longitudinal designs diverse participant samples further elucidate enhance robustness

Burnout impairs English as a foreign language (EFL) learning, while engagement enhances it. However, most relevant studies have focused on college students, neglecting senior high school students. To address this gap, mixed-methods study used two scales to assess the levels of burnout and among 1234 Chinese EFL We also applied person-centered approach with statistical software (Mplus 8.7) identify their latent profiles. Then, we conducted semi-structured interviews 30 students analyzed data using thematic analysis qualitative (MAXQDA 2022) investigate antecedents engagement. The revealed three profiles: burnout-low (16.0 %), moderate burnout-moderate (61.8 low burnout-high (22.2 %). profiles were associated demographic characteristics such gender, age, grade. identified four major antecedents: academic stress support for burnout, external internal Each antecedent consisted several categories subcategories. This could inform design effective interventions reduce students' increase
